“Junuary” is upon us!  On the last market of May the drizzle stayed away long enough to get the shopping, eating and browsing done.  30 vendors each week, including Chimacum’s own Mama’s Harvest pickles and tamales (the pork tamales might make you weep.)  Come see Jeff Hartman’s Driftwood furniture and sculptures if you are looking for some well done local artistry.  John Foss’s Peace Sign Produce Collective features produce and starts from his Dabob farm, eggs from Scarecrow Farm in Quilcene, and starts and more from Chimacum’s Spring Rain Farm.  Always plenty of parking, great food and music, straw bale seating and country feel.  Come to the market, you will enjoy yourself!

The bounty provided at the Sunday market is impressive!  This time of year is a little early for anything beyond greens, radishes, rhubarb, leeks and potatoes (Click here to see what is in season) but it’s THE time to find starts for your garden or hanging flower baskets.  The first 2 weeks of the market have seen a lot of live plants (not to mention the live music) but also bread and other baked goods, eggs, honey, lavender products, cider, fresh and ready to eat seafood, tacos and tamales, hot dogs, beef, goat milk soaps and lotion, pottery, outdoor furniture, wool, even organic fish fertilizer for happy gardens.  Click here to read the Peninsula Daily News coverage of the market.
